Real Fictional Comic about a Comic Artist (in middle school)

New Kid by Jerry Craft

September 4, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 8: Picture This Since the book club book I’m thinking I want to start with is part 2 of a series, I figured I’d get a hold of book one first. Somehow, I’d forgotten that New Kid was a graphic novel, so it fits in just fine for Bingo. Turns out the main character want to be a drawer of pictures, so it double works. I was a little unsure about this one before starting it because it was more of a middle grade […]
